Together with Dr Sarah Carr I will be launching the Centre for Co-Production in Mental Health in the summer of 2016. My major research and practice interests include the values base and analysis of co-production, service user empowerment and lifelong learning and recovery in mental health. I sit on the Enablement Board of the Barnet Enfield and Haringey NHS Trust, which is overseeing the implementation of a system-wide attempt to implement a service-user centred, values led approach to mental health system re-redesign across the whole Trust.
